Reclaim the Lunchbox Workshop: Help parents get the lunchbox right from the first day

Schools often tell us that parents try to make lunchboxes healthy for their child, but often get it wrong. Prep orientation evening is the ideal opportunity to get all new parents together and clarify what is and what isn’t healthy to ensure lunchboxes are right from the very first day. One of Nutrition Australia’s staff can visit your school and inspire your parents to provide healthy lunchboxes and support your school’s efforts in instilling healthy habits and optimal learning.
